The story

What Is How to Shoot a Crime About?

The premise of How to Shoot a Crime without spoilers.

Chris Kraus builds a quasi‑documentary that weaves police crime footage with interviews of two dominatrices and an ersatz mystery subplot. The film links sadomasochism to an imagined “plot,” suggesting that both gentrification and the documentation of crime function as aestheticized forms of death.
